Build More Muscle In Less Time Doing This

Years back, I used to think lifting as much weight as possible was the key to building strength and muscle.

So I would focus on adding more weight to the bar every week to the point where I was benching 265lbs, squatting 350lbs, and doing 40lbs lateral raises.

And the workouts I was doing at the time would take 60–90 minutes per session.

While it worked pretty well to get strong fast…

I only looked bigger because I was eating so much so I could keep up with the strength gains.

Fast forward to today…

I look so much better than I ever did back then.

And the crazy part?

I stopped benching entirely, and haven’t squatted more than 185lbs in over 6 months.

Let alone doing 40lbs lateral raises…

So what changed?

The first thing was my life situation.

When I was lifting much heavier years back, I had all the time in the world working a part-time job at a not-so-busy gym where I could lift weights on the clock.

I was single and had exactly zero children.

So spending an hour or two per day pushing heavy weight was no big deal.
